Kinetic and Potential Energy stores Flashcards
1
Q
What is kinetic energy?
A
Anything that is moving
2
Q
What is the link between kinetic energy and mass?
A
The greater the mass, the more energy will be transferred to the energy store
3
Q
What is the unit for mass for kinetic energy?
A
kg
4
Q
What is the unit for speed for kinetic energy?
A
m/s
5
Q
What is gravitational potential energy?
A
Lifting up an object
6
Q
What is the link between height and gravitational energy?
A
The higher the object is, the more energy is transferred to the energy store
7
Q
What is the unit for height for gravitational energy?
A
m
8
Q
What happens with the energy stores when someone falls
A
Energy is transferred from the gravitational potential energy store to the kinetic energy store
9
Q
What is elastic potential energy?
A
Anything that stretches and squashes
